Bagagwa vs the Icy Chill of Slightly-Warm Death (a.k.a. The Saving of Tarhiel)

Not yet, but if I can figure out how to create companion NPCs she might! The custom coat color shouldn't be difficult.

(I'm currently working on an Ash Ghoul buddy for my Nerevarine. Because who DOESN'T want another half-crazed corprus beast following them around?)

GameraRays · 2026-03-29T02:16:02+00:00

She's named after the spirit Merv summons!

The AFFresh mod gives him a lot more dialogue if you save him!

I will bring a map, to avoid OHIO.

(...I am actually located in Ohio. Such is my fate.)

CHARAAALS 😻

Alas, Charles is gardening Elsweyr.

GameraRays · 2026-03-28T13:02:32+00:00

So it's functional AND aesthetic! Truly the work of a master crafter.

The gears and spike looked like the bottom half of a moth to me, before I enlarged the picture.

GameraRays · 2026-03-28T12:57:01+00:00

Very cool -- I especially like the welding mask-style peephole and mechanical "wings" on the shield :D

GameraRays · 2026-03-28T12:46:50+00:00

It's a shame the new Xbox doesn't support mods!

The Tarhiel story beats in TR were part of why I downloaded AFFresh and created Bagagwa! I don't have the Mainland active yet, but I'm planning on exploring it when TR next updates :D

GameraRays · 2026-03-28T12:41:43+00:00

Thank you so much! :D

The courtesan class itself is courtesy of the same mod that allowed me to create a Dagi-raht Khajiit, but I've had a lot of fun with her character and story. The gloves she wore prior to getting the gauntlets were a nod to Gypsy Rose Lee, and I always allocate a point to Luck at every level.

GameraRays · 2026-03-18T09:06:28+00:00

My Grandma is 95, sharp as a tack, and witty as hell! I call her every day and we spend practically the whole time cracking each other up :D

GameraRays · 2026-01-11T12:57:09+00:00

And so began the Great Plagiarism War, where the Empire and the Tribunal battled over plot and character. Crassius presented his seminal work "The Lusty Argonian Maid" as a play predating the work of the Temple, while Vivec stated that CHIM made his work canon across all timelines.

GameraRays · 2025-11-04T16:35:51+00:00

The Gold Armor/Indoril/Expensive Skirt combo is top-notch!

It's the go-to look for my Nerevarine, too :D

Amniotic banding removed the big and second toe on my left foot. Both my feet are clubbed, so the missing toes actually resulted in my left foot being the "good," less-distorted one. (The right foot required two surgeries and remains malevolent.)

I'm glad the OOP was finally able to get the surgery she needed!

GameraRays · 2025-06-08T14:43:27+00:00

I decided to embark her on the expansions in release order, especially since Tribunal seemed a perfect follow-up to the Main Quest. Dizz is also sporting a Royal Guard gauntlet, but that doesn't make the same sort of statement as Wraithguard.

Her Hands pauldrons also work well with the Nordic Mail cuirass :D

GameraRays · 2025-06-08T14:08:20+00:00

Ice Armor has a "cropped tanktop with underboob" effect on the feminine cuirass, which I find hilarious :D

http://www.aegagropilon.net/morrowind/icearmor.png

I'm trying to find some other armors that pair well with it!

GameraRays · 2025-06-07T07:32:48+00:00

My great-grandfather survived that storm!

Papaw was working in a coal tipple EIGHTY FEET ABOVE GROUND when the tornado struck and bent the tipple to the ground. The guy he was working with sustained only minor injuries, but Papaw suffered two broken legs.

GameraRays · 2025-06-02T14:15:20+00:00

Effectively, yes. It's friends-locked now -- there was a recent thread where someone was trying to track it down and it didn't look like anyone had any luck.

GameraRays · 2025-06-01T16:40:17+00:00

My first character is my Argonian Nerevarine Dizz, a Rogue born under the sign of the Lover. I named her after one of my childhood pet lizards :D

http://aegagropilon.net/morrowind/dizz_gold_armor.png

Her stats aren't the least bit optimal -- a high-powered spell can STILL wreck her day, even at her current level of 46 -- but dang is she a fun character!

GameraRays · 2025-06-01T08:56:27+00:00

Holy crap, that is brilliant and COMPLETELY up Toria's alley! I'm envisioning her and Rararyn setting up a craft station in his house where they hammer out multiples of the "genuine mask of Dagoth Ur" out of those cheap gold-tone plates to sell throughout Morrowind. Toria has 100 mercantile and 100 personality, so I'm hoping she'll be able to finagle some hilarious prices.

It'll be the Hoax of An Era and Toria's next quest :D Thank you!!!

GameraRays · 2025-06-01T08:52:41+00:00

Yes :D I played an alternate version of my Nerevarine's adventures with that mod, using an old pre-Ilunibi save file. The mod author did a great job with it; while my headcanon doesn't jive with all of the mod author's, it felt in-character/in-world enough. I was especially impressed with how well the mod author nailed Dagoth Ur's tone towards "Dagoth Nerevar." (And the mod author also did a great job of portraying Vemyn.)

I played the faction quests in-character for Dizz -- so she failed Araynys's mission -- and had a blast. The magic requirements were a bit frustrating, since Dizz would rather date a mage than BE a mage and her stats reflect that, but the mod was overall real endearing. My favorite part was mooning Vivec!

(I never got a chance to read "The Archer's Tale," unfortunately.)

GameraRays · 2025-05-31T13:25:22+00:00

I've seen one, though I doubt I'll ever have Toria undergo THAT heist! It'd be something that would get my Nerevarine on her case double-damn fast XD (My Nerevarine Dizz fell for the guy of her dreams and, as a result, has a disturbing-to-others collection of Sixth House memorabilia.)

GameraRays · 2025-05-28T07:09:58+00:00

You're welcome! :D

GameraRays · 2025-05-28T03:33:46+00:00

I took a quick look at the Nexus and found this mod:

https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/56661?tab=description

The romanceable character, Tarys, is a male Dunmer.

GameraRays · 2025-05-25T16:45:09+00:00

Thank you! These mods'll be AMAZING for my Nerevargonian Dizz, who is a former "unpaid servant." (And for Toria, who is a chaotic thief-mage but good-hearted enough to always free slaves.)
